4 INTRODUCTION Financial systems in Africa have been strengthened by a number of reforms in recent years. This has allowed banks and other players to diversify their activities, deepen their lending and increase their reach with new products and technology. 1 One of these is the mobile phone. Mobile phones also known as cellular phones or cellphones offer a convenient way for initiating and executing electronic financial transactions, either using mobile phone companies infrastructure independently, or in alliance with financial institutions infrastructure. Mobile phones reduce the cost of financial transactions for the provider and customer, allow new entrants into the financial sector, and new relationships to be formed for distributing services. This has the potential for increasing access to financial services. 2 More than 800-million mobile phones were sold in developing countries between 2003 and The device is the first communications technology to have more users in developing countries than in developed ones. 3 Africa has the fastest growing mobile phone market in the world, according to African Mobile Handset Market Analysis. The continent's subscriber base grew by 66 in 2005 to 135-million users, compared with growth of only 11 in Western Europe during the same period. 4 The rapid spread of mobile phones on the continent means that the number of users may already exceed the number of banked people in many low-income countries. 5 This implies that increasing access to financial services by using mobile phones may have transformational effects, defined as the provision of financial services in such a way that unbanked people are targeted. 6 In areas where the provision of financial services through the mobile phone channel is not widespread, increased use of the channel may have additive effects as well, defined as mobile phone-based financial services provided as an additional offering to banked individuals through their financial institutions. 7 This paper aims to assess if the mobile phone has any additive or transformational potential in Zambia. It uses information from the nationally representative FinScope TM survey conducted in Zambia in to analyse whether adults (16 years and older) in the country use mobile phonebased financial services; how they view the technology; how they conduct transactions; their access to and use of mobile phones; and if the present banking products meet the needs of the potential consumer market or whether there is an opportunity for m-banking solutions to be provided by other service providers besides banks. The aim is to understand the dynamics of the m-banking, transaction banking and mobile phone market and through this identify possible barriers to, and opportunities for, m-banking in Zambia. 1 World Bank (2006) Making finance work for Africa, Washington DC, The World Bank, Africa Region 2 Porteous, D (2006) The enabling environment for mobile banking in Africa, Department for International Development report by Bankable Frontier Associates, Boston 3 GSM Association (2006) GSM Hits Two Billion Milestone, London GSM Association, June Timewell, S (2007) Retail Banking, The Banker, London 5 Porteous (2006) ibid 6 Porteous, D (2007) Just how transformational is m-banking?

5 M-BANKING IN ZAMBIA Mobile payments (m-payments) and mobile commerce (m-commerce) refer to the use of mobile phones to conduct financial transactions such as retail payments and person-to-person transfers only, based on various technologies, for example short-messaging service (SMS) or Java. Mobile banking (m-banking) refers to the delivery of banking services through mobile phones. 9 It includes m-payments but also involves access by mobile devices to the broader range of banking services, such as account-based savings or transaction products offered by banks, for example balance enquiries, money transfers, remittances and bill payments that are linked either to the customer s own account or the service provider s account. M-payments and m-banking are subsets of the broader domains of e-payments and e-banking respectively. M-banking solutions are starting to emerge in Zambia. CAD International, headquartered in South Africa, has been piloting Quick Pay Zoona in the Zambian cotton industry in the Katete and Choma areas since July Zoona is designed as an m-payments initiative that allows companies to make payments cost effectively to any cellphone in Zambia, without the need for the individual to hold a bank account. These payments are made on any network and customers can then transact via their mobile phone or collect their payments from an authorised cash dealer. In addition to relationships with the formal banking sector for larger payments, Zoona uses a mass market retail outlet as a branch network. 11 Zoona represents an exciting new frontier in the m-payments industry in Zambia. However, this focus note does not assess the Zoona m-payments service in more detail because it was not included in the FinScope TM 2005 survey. 9 Mobile phone banking is differentiated from mobile banking, which can occur through any mobile devise as opposed to mobile phones solely Ivatury, G. & Pickens, M.

6 Celpay, owned by First Rand Bank in South Africa, offers an m-banking solution in Zambia that provides its subscribers with inter-bank transfers, airtime vending via its dealer network, mini automated teller machine (ATM) capabilities and cash on delivery with its built-in mobile ordering application. 12 However only 0.05 of respondents surveyed have Celpay now and use it, and have it but don t use it (see Figure 1). Figure 1: Celpay use Used to have it 0.2 Have it now and use it 0.05 Have it now but do not use it The reason for this low level of penetration is that, in Zambia, Celpay has focused on the corporate market, with its services consisting mainly of business to business (B2B) transactions. Celpay has not yet undertaken any marketing campaign aimed at consumers, but plans to do so. 13 Consumer-focused m-banking solution, while still in their infancy, has both additive and transformational potential in Zambia. 12 Fundamo, (2006) Celpay Zambia upgrades technology to directly answer African population requirements, Fundamentally mobile banking: Mobile solutions for banking and transacting: 13 Mulambo, M (2007) Celpay Presentation and making finance work for Africa Conference, World bank and Bank of Zambia, Zambia 4
7 ADDITIVE POTENTIAL Additive m-banking models, such as those offered by First National Bank in Southern Africa or ABSA in South Africa, are when the mobile phone is another channel through which to operate an existing bank account, alongside or instead of internet or ATM, for some functions. 14 To assess the additive potential of mobile banking in Zambia it is useful to analyse access to and use of mobile phones among the currently banked. Twenty-eight percent of survey respondents have access to a mobile phone (see Figure 2). Most of those who own mobile phones pay with a pre-paid card rather than with a contract or subscription. Figure 2: Access and use of mobile phones in Zambia Have access to now Regularly use Personally own with a prepaid card Personally own with a contract/subscription Respondents in Lusaka province have the highest access to mobile phones, and regularly use them (See Figure 3). Figure 3: Currently banked access to and use of mobile phones by province Lusaka Copperbelt Central Southern Eastern Luapula Northern Western Northwestern Personally own with a contract/subscription Personally own with a pre-paid card Regularly Use Have Access to Now Porteous (2007) ibid 5
8 The currently banked respondents in urban areas have access to, regularly use and own mobile phones more than in the rural areas (see Figure 4). Figure 4: Currently banked access and usage of mobile phones by location Rural Urban Have Access to Now Regularly Use Personally own with a prepaid card Personally own with a contract/subscription Currently banked male respondents have higher access to, regularly use and own mobile phones, more than their female counterparts (See Figure 5). Figure 5: Currently banked access to and use of mobile phones by gender Female Male Have Access to Now Regularly Use Personally own with a prepaid card Personally own with a contract/subscription This suggests that to realise the additive potential of m-banking in Zambia, initial efforts should focus on urban areas in Lusaka province with special attention paid to male mobile phone users. 6
9 The success of efforts to exploit this additive potential depends to a large extent on how technology is viewed by the currently banked. Analysing these perceptions provides insight into whether this potential market would be attracted to a well-promoted m-banking solution. Most currently banked Zambians would be willing to learn to use a new technology if introduced (see Figure 6). This suggests that properly promoted m-banking would have an additive effect. Figure 6: I am prepared to learn how to use a new technology Currently banked Agree Disagree Do not know 3 However, the view among the currently banked on whether banks force them to use technology (see Figure 7) is balanced between those who agree and disagree. Given this, efforts to exploit the potential additive effect will need a promotion campaign that takes this into account. 15 Figure 7: Banks force me to use technology Currently banked Agree Disagree Do not know 15 Leach, J. et al. (2007) Press Release: Cellphone banking transforms the unbanked into bankers, South Africa: FinMark Trust 7
10 The percentage of currently banked respondents who use mobile phones or land-line telephones to transfer money only do so to another person s account, and mostly use banks, ATMs or cash points to conduct money transfers between their own accounts (see Figure 8). This also indicates that an additive effect of m-banking in Zambia exists as it shows that they do not have wide access to a mobile banking option at present. Figure 8: Money transfer modes Currently banked Bank Cellphone or telephone 1.4 To another person's account ATM or Cashpoint 1.8 Between own accounts However, the additive potential of m-banking will always be tempered by the ever present need for the personal interaction that can be provided by a branch or retail agent. Most currently banked Zambians value some human interaction with their bank even when faster technologies exist (see Figure 9). Figure 9: Even if a device is quicker, I would rather deal with a person than the device Currently banked Agree Disagree Do not know 5 8
11 TRANSFORMATIONAL POTENTIAL Transformational m-banking models target the unbanked and can be distinguished as either alliance or independent models. Alliance m-banking models include MTN Banking and WIZZIT in South Africa. 16 These bundle the opening of a new bank account with m-banking features that can be used to access statements and balances; conduct electronic transfers to any bank account; or text money directly to an individual, who is notified of the transaction via the mobile phone and can then withdraw cash from a branch or retail agent. Independent m-banking models include Zoona in Zambia and M-Pesa in Kenya. 17 The transformation potential of these m-banking models is bolstered by the fact that they do not require their clients to open a bank account and use existing mobile communications infrastructure, which already reaches unbanked people, to provide access to m-banking services. These independent models are usually driven by new players with different target markets from banks; harness the power of new distribution networks for cash transactions such as airtime merchants, beyond the conventional merchant point of sale or ATM networks of banks; and tend to be cheaper than conventional banking, if the offering is competitive. 18 Most Zambians, 78, are currently unbanked with 66 financially excluded, that is with no access to any formal or informal financial services. 19 These findings suggest that the transformational potential of mobile phone-based financial service solutions, if executed well, has huge transformational potential at the consumer level in Zambia.

12 Transaction banking Cash remains the main way of receiving income in Zambia (see Figure 11). In fact the selfemployed, most of whom are in the informal sector, receive most of their money in cash. Surprisingly, a high proportion of money received from employment in a company or business is also received in cash. Figure 11: Ways of receiving income Cash in person Cash third party Cheque Into Bank Account Swift transfer Western Union Other Self-employed in farming Self-employed in business Salaries or wages from a company or business Salaries or wages from an individual Money from family in the country Salaries or wages from a farm Rental income Money from a friend in the country Piece Work State pension Money from business investments in the country Interests on financial instruments Maintenance grants Money from family outside the country School Fees Others Money from friend outside the country Private pension Most of the surveyed respondents who send or receive money rely primarily on cash-based methods, either through third parties or personally. This is followed by bank-based methods and then remittance agencies such as Western Union and MoneyGram (see Figure 12). Figure 12: Ways of sending and receiving money Cash received / delivered through third party eg. taxi-drive Cash received / delivered in person Bank transfer at bank branch Swift Transfer Funds transfer agencies (e.g. Western Union, Moneygram) Telegraphic transfer By postal mail Cheque Others By courier service eg Mercury, DHL, Fedex Through post office Postal money order Bank transfer by cellphone / telephone
13 The main reasons why the respondents surveyed prefer to use cash-based modes of delivery are ease of use, convenience and speed (see Figure 13). Figure 13: Reasons for choosing main method of sending money It is easy to use It is convenient Transfer is fast It is easy to get to It is affordable It is the only one available to me Transfer is safe I do not know of any other means / no choice It has been recommended by parents I am used to it Do not know It gives me the opportunity to see / visit the person It is my employer who decides Recent research has found that in countries where most transactions are conducted on a cash basis and have high mobile phone use, m-banking solutions have a strong possibility of success. This is because of the increased safety and accountability that they offer relative to cash-based forms of conducting financial transactions Booz Allen Processing Cost per Transaction.

14 Access to and use of mobile phones People who are currently banked, who also have higher incomes, own the most mobile phones. Surprisingly, those who have never been banked have the most access to mobile phones and make as much regular use of it as those who are currently banked (see Figure 14). The relatively high access to, and regular use of, mobile phones among the unbanked suggests that m-banking solutions have transformational potential. Figure 14: Access to and regular use of mobile phones by banking status Currently banked Previously banked Never banked Have Access Regularly Use Personally own with pre-paid card Personally own with a contract or subscription To better understand the transformational potential of an m-banking solution in the Zambian environment it is important to understand the unbanked, including the previously banked, population that has access to, regularly uses and owns mobile phones. The unbanked in urban areas have higher access to and regular usage of mobile phones in Zambia than the unbanked in rural areas (see Figure 15). Figure 15: Unbanked access to and regular use of mobile phones by location Urban Rural Have access to Cellphone Regularly Use Cellphone Personally own cellphone with Personally own cellphone with pre-paid contract/subscription
15 The unbanked in Lusaka Province have the highest access to, and regular use of, mobile phones in Zambia compared with the unbanked in other provinces (see Figure 16). Figure 16: Unbanked access to and regular use of mobile phones by province Lusaka Copperbelt Central Southern Western Northern Eastern Personally own cellphone with contract or subscription Personally own cellphone with pre-paid Regularly Use Cellphone Northwestern Have access to Cellphone Luapula Unbanked males and females tend to have about the same access to and regular use of mobile phones (see Figure 17). Figure 17: Unbanked access to and regular use of mobile phones by gender Female 9 Male Have access to Cellphone Regularly Use Cellphone Personally own cellphone with Personally own cellphone with prepaid contract or subscription The above suggests that to realise the transformational potential of m-banking in Zambia, initial efforts should focus on all users in urban areas in Lusaka province. 13
16 POTENTIAL FOR NON-BANK M-BANKING SERVICE PROVIDERS Zoona in Zambia and M-Pesa in Kenya highlight that m-banking solutions do not necessarily have to be provided through banks. Rather, to realise the transformational potential of mobile banking, innovative new players must be encouraged to compete in the market. Aside from Celpay, m-banking solutions can be offered through any of Zambia s mobile phone companies Celtel, Cel-Z or MTN similar to what Zoona is doing in its pilot initiative. 21 For the non-bank m- banking service providers, success will hinge on them offering a solution that addresses gaps not being filled by banks in the country. The most common reasons why the previously banked and never banked are not banked are because they do not have money, a regular income or a job (see Figure 18). Figure 18: Top 18 reasons for not having a bank account I do not have money to put into a bank I do not have a regular income I do not have a job Lack of knowledge on banks I do not need a bank account The bank is too far It is expensive to have a bank account I do not qualify to open an account I prefer dealing in cash Minimum balance in the bank is too high I do not know how to open an account Bank Charges / Service Fees are too high I do not trust banks Others I am still at school / I am too young I am not comfortable walking into the bank I do not have enough income to save The bank closed my account Previously Banked Never Banked These responses suggest that the current banking products offered in Zambia have barriers to their use. The responses of I do not have money, or I do not have a regular income, and I do not have a job suggest that bank accounts are designed for salaried people with regular income rather than for those who may have irregular income, mainly from self-employment. This suggestion is bolstered by the finding that many unbanked respondents perceive that banks, relative to other financial institutions, require a permanent address and a payslip to open an account and force you to keep a minimum balance. (see Figure 19 to Figure 21). 21 For full details on m-banking business models see Porteous (2006) ibid. 14
17 Figure 19: I agree that a permanent address is required to open account Banks Insurance Companies Building Societies Microfinance Institutions Savings Clubs / Chilimbas Informal lenders e.g. Kalobas Previously Banked Never Banked Figure 20: I agree that a payslip is required to open account Banks Insurance Companies Building Societies Microfinance Institutions Savings Clubs / Chilimbas Informal lenders e.g. Kalobas Previously Banked Never Banked Figure 21: I agree that a minimum balance is required to maintain account Banks Insurance Companies Building Societies Microfinance Institutions Savings Clubs / Chilimbas Previously Banked Never Banked
18 These findings suggest that, in the absence of a more flexible bank account that caters for the self-employed, an m-banking solution that targets this group may have some success in the Zambian banking environment. This is illustrated in Figure 22, which shows that although salaried employees have more access to and higher usage of mobile phones than the selfemployed; the latter category also has substantial access to and use of mobile phones. Figure 22: Access and use of mobile phones for salaried vs self-employed workers Salaries/wages from a company, business farm or individual Self-employed in business or farming Piece-work Have access to now Regularly use Personally own cellphone paying with a pre-paid card 7 3 Personally own cellphone with a contract / subscription Distance from a bank ranks sixth among the top reasons why the unbanked do not have a bank account (see Figure 18). It takes more than an hour to get to a bank for a fifth of currently banked respondents (see Figure 23). The convenience of m-banking could be a valued solution for the unbanked, or even currently banked, population who will no longer need to use scarce time and financial resources to travel to distant bank branches. The potential can be realised especially because Celtel alone covered 65 of the Zambian population in 2006, which was an increase from 55 in 2005, 22 compared to a banked population of 14.6 in 2005 (see Figure ). Figure 23: Time currently banked spend to get to the bank More than one day 0.4 Up to a day 3 About an hour or more 20 About minutes 18 About minutes 22 About minutes 17 About minutes 15 About 5 minutes 2 Under 5 minutes Lack of knowledge ranks third the unbanked among the top reasons for not having a bank account in Zambia (see Figure 18). This implies that an m-banking solution should aim to overcome this barrier through aggressive marketing to ensure that a lack of information does not limit the transformational potential of m-banking in Zambia. 22 Yakima (2007) A growing giant New Zambia: Economic reflections for a new and better Zambia, 16
19 REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT An appropriate regulatory environment is important to realise the potential of m-banking in Zambia. This is because m-banking sits at the overlap of several regulatory domains banking, telecommunications, payment systems and anti-money laundering. 23 This overlap raises the risk of inconsistent or contradictory legislation or regulation. Mitigating this risk requires a comprehensive vision for market development by policymakers, regulators and industry players. Such a vision will help address issues, such as: Interoperability across mobile operators to ensure that m-banking transactions can be conducted across different mobile phone networks; and Resolving conflicts between mobile operators and banks to allow m-banking providers to attain critical mass beyond small, geographical markets or specific value propositions. 24 Porteous proposes a two-tier framework of regulatory principles. These are necessary, but may not be sufficient, for m-banking to thrive in a country. 25 The first tier is required for m-banking to happen on scale and includes: sufficient certainty around electronic contracting; adequate customer protection against fraud and abuse in an m-banking environment; interoperability through appropriate access to payment platforms; and the ability of consumers to switch financial providers easily. The second tier includes: risk-based, customer due diligence procedures for account opening that do not unduly prejudice remote account openings by small customers; the ability for customers to make deposits and withdraw cash through agents and remote points outside bank branches; and adequate provisions for the issuance of e-money by appropriately capitalised and supervised entities that need not necessarily be banks. 23 The risk arises due to the use of e-money held by an unregulated third party as opposed to hard cash. Current approaches to the regulation of e-money vary widely, from waiver or neglect as long as the maximum payment of balance size is low (Porteous, 2006 ibid.) 24 Timewell ibid. 25 Porteous (2006) ibid. 17
20 CONCLUSION This paper explored the potential for m-banking in Zambia using data collected in the FinScope TM 2005 survey. It argues that, while consumer-focused m-banking solutions are still in their infancy in Zambia, a case for additive potential for m-banking exists in Zambia. Because of the prevalence of cash-based financial transactions and the high access to, and regular use of, mobile phones among the unbanked, m-banking has a transformational potential as well. To realise the additive potential of m-banking in Zambia, initial efforts should focus on urban areas in Lusaka province with special attention paid to male mobile phone users. To realise the transformational potential of m-banking in Zambia, initial efforts should also focus on urban areas in Lusaka province with special attention paid to all mobile phone users. Zoona, which is still in its pilot phase, provides a great opportunity to take advantage of the transformational potential in the m-banking space in Zambia because it does not require its clients to open bank accounts uses mobile phone company infrastructure and is establishing a network of mass-market retail agents beyond the banking infrastructure to service its clients. However, further research is needed to determine if it should focus on companies and rely on them to sign up their customers or if it should focus on establishing a consumer-driven growth model. As m-banking sits at the overlap of several regulatory domains banking, telecommunications, payment systems and anti-money laundering it is important to design a regulatory environment that is aimed at ensuring that both the additive and transformational potentials are realised. The FinScope TM 2005 survey is aimed at exploring access to financial services as opposed to m- banking, specifically. The m-banking survey piloted by FinMark Trust in South Africa in 2006 allows a deeper understanding of m-banking in general and perceptions surrounding its use or non-use, which is of value to understanding the potential of m-banking in Zambia. This could help answer questions raised in this focus note such as to why a higher proportion of Celpay users used to have it but no longer do, and whether or not Zambian adults conduct airtime transfers between urban and rural areas. Mobile phones are a fifth banking channel, after the branch, ATM, telephone and internet. They are flexible and functional when linked to an ATM network and can be positioned as a remote control for finances to provide a wider range of financial services outside the banking network. To realise their potential in Zambia, energetic financial entrepreneurs, prepared to integrate mobile phone technologies that have proved effective in isolated pilots on the continent into the financial service delivery environment in the country, will be needed for wider roll-out Timewell ibid. and World Bank ibid. 18
